In Pages 5, why are page thumbnails different sizes?

So I'm using 5. And I must say I think it's brilliantly done after a long period of ******** about it. I guess I'm not asking of it anything it doesn't provide and what it does it does very well - though I'm puzzled by the behavior of selecting text via the keyboard.
Anyhow, that's not my question. I'm working with a long text document. I notice that as I work the page thumbnails become different sizes. It's subtle but it's clearly intentional. I reckon it's trying to tell me something but I don't know what. Haven't been able to find any info in the manual and was wondering if any of you clever people here might know. Thanks.

This is what I meant about how rude you are though. Your answer DOESN'T EXPLAIN ANY OF THE BEHAVIOUR myself or the other person were reporting. The only assumption that I can make is that you posted here for the sole purpose of implying that we are both mistaken or stupid.
How is this helpful at all?
How do you have 32,485 points when you are obviously more concerned with insulting people than helping them out? It puts the lie to the whole idea of "Apple Support Communities."
Also, I specifically informed you that your comments were insulting and unhelpful and politely requested you not post on this thread anymore or at least until you had some kind of actual information, yet here you are. Posting again, with no content other than the implied insult.
I'm not stupid. I know what a section break is, I know what a page break is. I'm a writer who has used innumerable word processing programs over the years and have been an IT worker for 10 years now.
I have a Pages document. It has no (or only one depending on your point of view), section(s). It has page breaks only. The pagination is set to start at "1" on the first page and proceed normally to the end of the document (300 or so pages). I am using Pages 5.5.2 on a brand new iMac. I have NONE of the previous or older versions/types of Pages on my computer.
The pages thumbnails on the side, do actually CHANGE SIZE randomly as I am editing the document. These differing sizes are NOT CORRELATED WITH THE BEGINNING OR ENDING OF SECTIONS. These size changes are also NOT CORRELATED WITH THE PAGE BREAKS (in case you were about to argue the similarity of page breaks and section breaks). As I work through the document and scroll up and down editing here or there, the size of the thumbnails RANDOMLY CHANGE SIZE. Sometimes this is correlated with me working on a section, sometimes I can work on a section and no change happens at all. The thumbnails that change size often change back again when I scroll back to them later on.
So please ... Try to act like a decent human being and either help out, or go away. STOP POSTING THAT WE ARE WRONG, when you DON'T in fact know we are wrong. STOP INSULTING ME by assuming I am stupid.
Why are you even here if you don't want to actually HELP anyone?
To anyone else reading this: I am having a real bad time with this fellow who is just the most insulting person I have met for a while, however many of my posts about him are being deleted. If anyone knows (including the mods of this forum) of the proper way to REPORT or get rid of a troll/abuser like him on Apple Support Communities or a place to report his behaviour, please let me know.

Why are my exports different sizes?

When I export a photo from aperture, I am getting a different file size than what it says in aperture. This happens with edited images or non-edited. I've tried changing the export presents and they all give me different file sizes, which makes sense. But I can't seem to export a photo and get it to come out the exact same size as what it says in aperture. If I set the quality to 12 in export presets, it ends up being much larger than what it is in aperture, if it's set to 11 or lower the photo ends up being smaller than aperture's size. What am I doing wrong?

That's how JPG works. The compression is redone every time the file is saved. When you export, you create a new file. If you create a JPG, it will be created to the compressing setting you use, but that compression setting is specific to the program using it, and will not result in a file of the same size saved by a different program.
The only way to get the exact same file is to export the file you imported -- in Aperture, this is done as "File➞Export➞Original".
If you are aiming for the highest quality JPG that fits within a upper limit of storage required (e.g. 5 MB), you can make small changes using "Size to" set to "Percent of Original" and then trying, for example, 90%. For almost all uses a quality of 11 is more than sufficient. For printing (where max IQ is primary, and file size shouldn't matter) use TIFF 16-bit.

Why are my thumbnails not matching photos?

Why are my thumbnails not matching the photos in my smart album?

I am rebuilding my thumbnails--a slow process I am learning. We'll see how that does. I believe I have the latest version of both iPhoto and OS. What happens is that the thumbnail does not match the photo. The photo in the thumbnail is in the same series, but not the same. Many of the thumbnails are the same photo from the series. I'll report back on the success of the thumbnail rebuilding process.

Portfolio pdf- why is text in different sizes on each page of pdf?

Even though i have saved my images with text (always font size 12) as the same size (eg. 10in x 10in at 100ppi), each time i save the images as a pdf the pdf then has all different size text from image to image- a complete mess as a portfolio.
Also when i then changed the size of the image and saved it as a copy, both images and text stay the same size! though both the ppi and scale differ in each images....
How do i change this? any tips appreciated!

You can't write directly in PDF from Output Module, only add a header or
footer text but that will repeat itself each page.
You could try so in an app like Word or if you have Pages or other design
application it would be possible to make your own layout and text and from
there save as PDF.
You can also try in PS, just create a template frame (new file) big enough
to paste the images in and with space around including more at the bottom
where you add the text you want. On the frame put a text layer and the file
layer for the image by either drag and drop or copy paste. Resize the image
till it fits in the frame
You cans resize the image on the template layer to fit in the frame as you
like and save as new files.
Now you have same sized frame with same ppi and font size.
With this files selected in Bridge in the order you want choose Output
Module with option for paper size, landscape or portrait, background color.
Choose 1 column and 1 row including auto space, deselect filename and
extension and also deselect header and footer if thy are not so already
(unless you want some text and page numbers)
I created the images in photoshop and then i use the bridge adobe output
module- the pdf is a multiple page document with one image per page which
has text written beneath the image -
as in the image is saved with a frame with title/text.
Is there a way of writing individual text directly onto each pdf page
instead of the image? perhaps this will solve the issue of differing text
sizes....?

Why are colours very different between PSE 11 Org & Camera Raw 7.4?

Looking at some new images in the Organizer the color is very cool compared to when I open it in the Editor & it goes to Camera Raw where it is very warm. Same monitor, same color settings in both Org & Editor. I can edit in Camera Raw & Editor, but why are my colors not true in Org? Any suggestions?
I'm running a Mac with Mavericks.

Yes, I understand that. If I adjust the color in only C Raw, or also go into the Editor, the changes are saved in the Org. What surprises me is the vast difference in color temp. I'm estimating about 500 K diff--enough that I may not have edited the color I see in C Raw--but definitely wanted to do so from what I viewed in the Org. I don't recall this much of a difference--and the Org seems to be the one not accurately reflecting the image.

Finder: "Devices" vs. "Places." Why are the programs different?

I'm perpetually perplexed by the way the the same applications work differently under "Devices" and under "Places" when accessed from the "Finder." For example, often when I access a program like iPhoto from the Finder and click on it, it will appear to the extreme right on my dock, next to the stacks divider, thereby giving me 2 icons of iPhoto on my dock. Moreover, the one that appears on the far right may be of a different size and behave like a program being used for the first time. At other times, accessing the program from the Finder merely opens the one program on my Dock, as I expect it to. But must there be two appearances of the same icon, each appearing to be a discrete, separate application (as I suspect they are) rather than a mere alias of, or short cut to, the same program?
A most recent example: I downloaded iTunes 10 (twice, for good measure). Nevertheless, I'm now looking at two different iTunes programs: iTunes 10 is under 2 of the rubrics in the "Devices" area of my Finder ("my iMac" and "Macintosh HD"); iTunes 9 remains lower down under 2 rubrics in the "Places" area (under "Applications" and under "my name" as sole user of the computer). They clearly must be separate, discrete applications, with different file sizes, though I would prefer to have only iTunes 10--and located under "A Applications" in the "Places" area of the Finder window.
Normally, I would access applications under the "Applications" rubric that's found in "Places" on my Finder. Doing so, however, would seem to require that I trash my old iTunes (or iPhoto) and replace it by dragging down the newer version of iTunes recently installed in the "Devices" area of the Finder. Is this normal procedure? I plan to make less use of the Finder and concentrate on what's in the Dock. But when dragging an application to the Dock, is it important to select the application from the Devices area ("Macintosh HD") rather than the "Places" area ("Applications") to ensure placing the most recent version on the Dock? And is it normal to see two versions of the same application appear on the Dock after clicking on the program in the "Devices" area and the "Places" area of the Finder window?
I'm analytically-challenged but am looking to reduce clutter without inadvertently trashing what may be substantial. I could also use any enlightenment concerning the complex and multiple locations (apparently 4) of a program/application as seen from the Finder window.

I'm perpetually perplexed by the way the the same applications work differently under "Devices" and under "Places" when accessed from the "Finder." For example, often when I access a program like iPhoto from the Finder and click on it, it will appear to the extreme right on my dock, next to the stacks divider, thereby giving me 2 icons of iPhoto on my dock
Sounds like you have 2 copies of iPhoto installed.
On the dock icon, right click -> show in Finder and see where the applications are located then delete one of them
Drag iTunes 9 to the trash to delete it.

Why is the text different sizes?

Hi,
The text with this browser shows different sizes of text on a web page? Some is normal, then some is tiny. I you pinch the page up to read the tiny text, the normal text goes very large. It ruins reading a web page. Why does this happen, and is there anything I can do about it? It is particularly difficult when on a forum.
Thankyou.

Why do I get different size redings?

I just noticed while looking through my iTunes music that it shows two different sizes? If I look at the "music folder" in my iTunes folder it calculates to 28.62GB, but when I open iTunes and look at the bottom it reads "2184 songs 6.8 days 19.82GB? Why the different size readings.
Also what is the best way to get rid of duplicates? I have a music folder and my wife has a music folder (on her machine) and I have two back ups of music folders from long ago that I have forgotten about on my back up drive. Whats the best way to consolidate every thing and NOT be storing a bunch of duplicates?

Thanks StarDeb55:
I checked and I do have a Unknown Artist folder 1.36GB and a Unkown folder 8.4MB. They have misc music in them including a lot of old system sounds, but no movie files. I have ripped some movies but they are all in my movie fold on my local HD and my back up HD. So that accounts for about 1.44GB of space?

Why does lun show different size on different rac nodes?

Hi all,
We are trying to increase ASM disk space and with respect to it when we are trying to allocate more space this question came across my mind. Now this was previously configured by my previous SA.
[root@oracledbtest1 ~]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm querydisk -d `/etc/init.d/oracl
cut -f2,10,11 -d" " | perl -pe 's/"(.*)".*\[(.*), *(.*)\]/$1 $2 $3/g;' |
while read v_asmdisk v_minor v_major
do
v_device=`ls -la /dev | grep " $v_minor, *$v_major " | awk '{print $10}'`
echo "ASM disk $v_asmdisk based on /dev/$v_device [$v_minor, $v_major]"
done
**ASM disk ASM01 based on /dev/dm-15 [253, 15]**
**ASM disk ASM02 based on /dev/dm-14 [253, 14]**
node 2:
[root@oracledbtest1 ~]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm querydisk -d `/etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks -d` |
cut -f2,10,11 -d" " | perl -pe 's/"(.*)".*\[(.*), *(.*)\]/$1 $2 $3/g;' |
while read v_asmdisk v_minor v_major
do
v_device=`ls -la /dev | grep " $v_minor, *$v_major " | awk '{print $10}'`
echo "ASM disk $v_asmdisk based on /dev/$v_device [$v_minor, $v_major]"
done
**ASM disk ASM01 based on /dev/dm-13 [253, 13]**
**ASM disk ASM02 based on /dev/dm-14 [253, 14]**
Now, can any one help me in telling why are my LUN's showing different sizes on RAC and also the best way to allocate the space to the disks in the above scenario.
P.S I am fairly new in posting to the OTN. Please excuse if I am not clear with my question.
Edited by: 902932 on Apr 8, 2013 8:25 AM

why you think the space is different between the 2 nodes?
The devices are different, that's ok, dm- is the device mapper name, and several devices will create dm-* like entries, so it's ok to have them different.
When you add a disk, you should follow an approach like:
Present the disk on the storage
Refresh the luns on all the nodes
Create the oracleasm disk on one node
refresh the oracleasm disks on all the nodes
verify the new oracleasm disk is present on all nodes in /dev/oracleasm/disks/*
At this point, you can use asmca or sqlplus in the +ASMn instance to make your asm diskgroup to grow, or create a new disk group

Why are the thumbnails on the comments sections of blogs covering the text in safari?

Why doe my iPhone make the size of the thumbnails so large that they cover up the text in the comments section of different blogs? They're mobile sites and they appear this way in safari and chrome. This is a new occurrence after the latest update.

You may have zoomed the page(s) by accident by using "Zoom Text Only" (i.e. not full page zoom).
Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.
*<b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl/Command+0 (zero))
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
If you have made changes to Advanced font settings like increasing the minimum/default font size then try the default minimum setting "none" and the default font size 16 in case the current setting is causing problems.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but to use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not being displayed properly.

When printing on a digital press, why are the colors different between INDD & PSD?

I've created the exact same CMYK mix in both InDesign and Photoshop. When printed on a digital press they are not the same color. Any ideas how this can be fixed/solved?

Sounds like the RIP treats raster and vector objects differently. see InDesignSecrets » Blog Archive » Eliminating YDB (Yucky Discolored Box) Syndrome for a discussion of how this affects transparency interactions, and how to work around it. I suspect you can cure it by adding transparency to the master page and using the custom flattener method.

Page numbers different sizes on different pages

How do I get the page numbers I added (version 9) to be the same size througout the document? My document has different font sizes throughout and there are a few pages where the page number gets real small. How Do I keep the page numbers the same size throughout the document? Thanks!!

Look in the Inspector palette > Lay out > Section. Is "left and right page different" ticked? Detick it.

Why are "Open" windows different in Apple Apps?

Why are my photos different from originals in iPhoto 9.5.1?

Hi
I import photos from my iPhone 5S, if I then hit 'revert to original' in 'Edit' mode they look very different? Why is this?
Is the iPhone or iPhoto adding certain qualities before I have done anything myself?
I want to use the photos for a website and want them to look as good as possible across the web, different computers/screens/software etc
Thanks in advance
Daniel

I import photos from my iPhone 5S, if I then hit 'revert to original' in 'Edit' mode they look very different? Why is this?

With iOS version are you using? And in what way are your photos looking different?
"Revert to original" will remove any filters added in the Camera app. iPhoto on your Mac can undo certain adjustments added on the iPhone.
Have you enabled effects in the Camera, like Chrome or Instant?
